UNITED STATES JOHN ANTHONY HONEGGER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SMOKING SET.

Application filed August 8, 1924. Serial No. 730,958.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN A. HONEGGER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of New York, borough of Queens, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Smoking Set, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention has relation to receptacles and has particularl reference to a combination smoking receptacle for use primarily in connection with automobiles or other vehicles or when associated with a suitable supporting element as a table smoking set.

One of the outstanding objects of the present invention is to provide a combined receptacle for a package of cigarettes, a package of book matches and for smoking refuse, which facilitates the insertion and removal of said elements. i

As a further object the invention comprehends a combined receptacle of the character set forth in which the several parts thereof are capablepof being stamped from sheet material and bent upon themselves whereby the device may be cheaply constructed and assembled.

lVith the above recited and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth .in the following specilication, particularly pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein, to the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the completed device ready for association with the dashboard of a vehicle;

Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof;

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view therethrough taken approximately on the line 3-3 of Fig. Q;

F 4 is a top plan view thereof;

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank which constitutes the rear wall of the device;

Fig. 6 is'a plan view of the blank which constitutes the front and side walls of the device;

Fig. 7 is a plan view of the blank which constitutes the refuse tray cover;

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the holder or supporting stand which adapts the de` vice for table use;

Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view therethrough with the device illustrated in dotted lines in supported relation therewith.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference the combined receptacle includes a. rectangular body 10 having a forwardly and downwardly inclined lower end 11 and an open upper end which is closed by a cover l2'. The cover 12 is hinged at 13 to the rear edge of the upper open end and is normally moved to a closed position with respect thereto by means of a spring 14. A hollow carrier member 15 of a size and configuration to receive a cigarette package is mounted within the body 1() for vertical movement and said carrier member is provided with a bottom wall 16. A transverse cam shaft 1'7 is journaled in the side walls of the body 10 below the bottom wall 16 of the carrier member and a lifting and lowering cam 18 is secured to the cam shaft 17 for operative engagement with the bottom wall 16 to effect the raising and lowering of the package carrier upon rotation of the cam and cam shaft. One end of the cam shaft which protrudes beyond the side wall of the body 10 is bent radially to provide a manipulating arm or handle 19 for the purpose of rotating the shaft and cam. The side walls of the carrier element 15 at the upper end are provided with upwardly projecting extensions 2O having rounded or semiscircular upper edges 21 which cooperate with the underside of the cover 12 upon upward movement of the carrier member tc effect -the swinging of said cover to opened position against the action of the spring 14. The front wall 22 of the body 10 has its lower edge terminating slightly above the upper edges of the side walls 23 of the forwardly and downwardly inclined lower end 11 of the body and the said lower edge` of the front wall Q2 is provided with a forwardly proj eeting central lug 2l. The front wall 22 is further provided adjacent its lower edge with transversely spaced outstruck tongues 25 and said tongues together with the lug 24 define a means for receiving and holding a package of bookinatches. The rear wall 26 of the body 10 is provided with laterally projecting rearwardly offset ears 27 having upwardly extending slots 2S from their lower edges to engage over lit) headed supporting elements provided in the dashboard of a vehicle when the device is employed in this capacity. The lower end 11 of the body 10 which is defined by the forwardly and downwardly inclined lower extremity 29 of the rear wall 2G and by the angular terminals 3() of the side walls Q3 of the body 10 constitutes a smoking refuse compartment for ashes, burnt matches or cigar and cigarette stumps.

In order to provide means for closing the forward end and upper portion of the refuse compartment, while at the same time to permit of the removal or discharge of the refuse, a pivoted member designated generally at 32 is provided which consists of angularlydisposed walls 33 and 3st, the latter being provided with laterally projecting journals or trunnions 35 on its opposite edges which are mounted in bearing openings 3G in the walls 30. The upper wall 3% is further provided with an upwardly projecting angular flange 37 which is designed when the member 32 is in closed relation, to engage behind the lower edge of the front wall 22. The end wall 33 of the device 32 is provided with rearwardly bent side flanges 38 which embrace the sides of the forward edges of the walls 30 and the lower edge of the front closure wall 33 is provided with a central resilient rearwardly projecting clip 59 which is designed to frictionally engage under the forward edge of the bottom wall 29 of the refuse compartment. The walls 33 and St are provided with a cutaway portion l() defining an opening whereby access may be gained to the refuse compartment for disposing the refuse therein and the lower edge of the material defining the opening et() is provided with a forwardly projecting` arcuate lip 41 to constitute a cigar or cigarette rest.

In order to illustrate the manner in which the device is constructed the blank A from which the back or rear wall 2G is constructed is shown in Fig. 5; the blank B from which the front and side walls 22 and 23 are constructed is shown in Fig. 6' and the blank C from which the refuse compartment' covering means is constructed is shown in Fig. 7. Referring to the blank A. it will be noted that adjacent its longitudinal or side edges a line of slots 1-2 is provided while the rear edges of the side walls 23 and the angular terminals 3() thereof are provided with tongues 13 which are inserted through the slots and bent laterally to hold the device in assembled relation. The side walls and their angular' terminals 30 are bent along the line-s indicated at -t-t in Fig. G after which the lower portion 29 of the rear wall 2G is bent along the line 5 to snugly lit against the lower edges of the angular terminals 30. The upper edge of the rear wall 2G is provided with spaced integral lugs a6 which are bent around to provide the hinge knuckles for receiving the hinge pin 13 when brought into alignment with the complementary hinge knuckles 47 on the cover 12.

Then it is desired to use the device as a table smoking set, a supporting` stand or holder 50 illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9 is employed and said stand consists of a single length of sheet material which is bent upon itself to provide a vertical wall 51 having laterally projecting ears adjacent its upper end by which headed elements :325 are carried. The lower end of the vertical wall 51 is bent laterally as at 5-1 and thence forwardly as at 55. The side edges of the forwardly bent portion are provided with upstanding flanges 56 having inturned rear edges 57 which liel behind the lower portion of the vertical wall 51. rfhis construction constitutes a base for the vertical wall having side flange-s 5G so that the slotted portion 28 of the arms 27 may engage over the headed elements as illustrated in Fig. 9 with the side alls of the refuse compartment maintained between the flanges ln use of the device, the handle 1.9 is manipulated to turn t-he lam and cam shaft which effects a lifting and upward movement of the carrier element 15. A package of cigarettes is then inserted in the carrier element which is lowered into place by the handle 197 the spring '11 functioning to close the cover 1Q. The package of book matches with the cover flap torn away is inserted between the tongues with the lower edge resting upon the lug 2-1 and the abrasive or scratching surface thereof lying between the lower edges of the tongues 25 and the lug Q41. A. cigarette or cigar may be inserted upon the lip 41:1 which is designed for this purpose and the ashes, burnt matches, cigar or cigarette stumps are introduced to the refuse compartment through the opening it). When it is desired to empty or discharge the refuse from said compartment, the operator swings the member '52 on its trunnionsI or journals to the position illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 3. lt will be noted that the flange 37 of the element 32 serves to engage behind and assist in displacing the refuse from its compartment. lt will be further noted that the cam 18 engages with the rear wall Q6 which serves as a stop for the .am whereby the cam in turn limits` thc downward movement of the carrier 15.

From the foregoing it will thus be observed that. an extremely simple: and inexpensive smoking sethas been devised which is primarily designed for association with the dashboard of an automobile and the construction and arrangement of the same is such as to dispose the compartments in vcrtical alignment in order that the width of the device is reduced to a mininunn.
